Directorate Change

12 November 2014 Capita Board Update Capita plc (Capita) today announces that Gordon Hurst will retire from Capita and step down as Group Finance Director and from the Group Board with effect from 28 February 2015, after 27 years with the Company. Gordon will remain employed by the Group as a consultant until 30 September 2015. Gordon has played a key role in supporting Capita's successful growth since joining the Company in 1988, including 19 years as a Group Board member and Group Finance Director. He is leaving Capita to pursue a number of non-executive opportunities, alongside his role as Non-Executive Chairman of Featurespace, a Cambridge technology company at the forefront of adaptive behavioural analytics. He intends to use the expertise that he has gained at Capita to advise other organisations regarding establishing and maintaining appropriate commercial and financial infrastructures to support growth and sustainability. In line with Capita's senior management succession plan, Nick Greatorex, currently Executive Director of Capita's Insurance & Benefits Services division, will join the Group Board and succeed Gordon as Group Finance Director effective from 1 March 2015. To ensure a seamless transition, Nick will be released from his current role from 1 December 2014, allowing him to work closely alongside Gordon through the 2014 annual results and 2015 annual business planning period before assuming the role of Group Finance Director in March. Nick Greatorex joined Capita in 2006 and has held a number of senior commercial, finance and management roles across the Group. He began his career in Capita as commercial lead on some of Capita's largest major bids and went on to oversee the transition and development of these contracts. He then became Life & Pensions Divisional Commercial Director, Insurance & Benefits Services Divisional Finance Director and is currently Executive Director of the Insurance & Benefits Services division. He was previously Chief Financial Officer of Liberata plc (now owned by HCL) and held senior merger and acquisition roles at a number of organisations, including Centrica plc. He qualified as a chartered accountant in 1992 at Ernst & Young, where he spent 10 years working in the UK and US. Andy Parker, Chief Executive of Capita plc, said: "Gordon has been an exceptional member of the Capita Board and has played a key role throughout his career at Capita in creating and overseeing robust commercial and financial procedures and systems that have supported the Group throughout its consistent growth. He has built a strong team of legal, commercial and financial experts both centrally and across the divisions and therefore leaves firm foundations to support the continued growth of the Group. His unique approach and straightforward manner will be truly missed and we all wish Gordon well in his future interests. Our robust succession planning has ensured that there is a strong team in place to continue delivering success. On behalf of the Board and the wider Group, I look forward to welcoming Nick to the Board and his new role as Group Finance Director. He has in-depth experience of working in senior commercial and finance roles right at the heart of Capita across a number of our major bids and contracts and has played a key role in supporting and growing our Insurance & Benefits Services division. This combined with experience from his previous role of CFO at Liberata plc and his work across different sectors and territories will make him a strong addition to the Board and our leadership team." Gordon Hurst currently also holds the role of Company Secretary. To support the continued growth of the Group, the Board has decided to create a separate Company Secretary role and has promoted the current Deputy Secretary, Francesca Todd, to this role with immediate effect. ends Notes for Announcement: 1.
